Assault allegations in Owen Sound

A 14-year-old girl has been charged after an alleged assault took place in Owen Sound on Sunday.
Owen Sound police attended a west side housing complex after receiving complaints from two women that they had been assaulted by the teen.
It is alleged that the teen confronted the women, voicing an undesirable opinion about a family pet, it said in a news release from Owen Sound police.
Profanities were exchanged and when the teen was told to go away and leave them alone, she responded by punching one woman's chest. When the victim's friend intervened, the friend was punched in the eye. After a brief struggle, the fight was broken up and the teen left the scene in a car, the news release said.
Hours later while on patrol an officer located and arrested the teen without incident. She has been charged with two counts of assault, and one count of failing to comply with probation. She is scheduled to attend court in early October.
The injuries to the two women were minor and did not require medical attention, the news release said.
